The second hypothesis is that in individuals with abnormally low active α1PI levels, the periodicity of CD4 counts is shorter than in individuals with normal active α1PI levels. Although we will measure periodicity in only 5 individuals with normal active α1PI levels and 15 with abnormal active α1PI levels, this will allow us to determine whether active α1PI is a linear determinate of periodicity or whether there are other variables that regulate periodicity. In an 8-week study, only 2 periods can be observed. Thus, following an 8-week regimen of therapy, one study subject may be asked to continue for a second 8-week regimen of therapy to allow the observation of 5 periods.
